Original bug report read:

<Package: dpkg-dev
<Version: 1.9.17
<Severity: normal
<
<Hello,
<
<The control file of my pari package look like
<
<Source: pari
<Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 
1.1.17),tetex-bin,tetex-extra,libreadline4-dev,xlib
<s-dev,libncurses5-dev
<Build-Depends-Indep:
<Section: math
<Priority: optional
<Maintainer: Bill Allombert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
<Standards-Version: 3.5.5.0

This calls for some comments:
1) the bug is against dpkg 1.9.17 and still apply with 1.9.20. Wether or not it
works with dpkg 1.9.8 or with the current CVS version is not particularly 
relevant.

2) It seems an empty Build-Depends-Indep: line followed by an empty line is
accepted by dpkg-checkbuilddeps, but not if it is followed by another control
line, i.e if Build-Depends-Indep: is not the last line of the Source section.  

3) The bug is easily reproducible with the information I gave. Just do
cd /tmp;mkdir -p foo/debian; cd foo; cat >debian/control <<EOF
Source: pari
Build-Depends:
Section: math
Priority: optional
Maintainer: Bill Allombert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Standards-Version: 3.5.5.0
EOF
dpkg-checkbuilddeps

and the output is 
dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: Section: math

Cheers,
